Omit or include the article in "study in a high school"
I have been talking about this grammatical issue with my non-native English speaking friends.
(1) You are studying in high school.
(2) You are studying in a high school.
Some of us think generally speaking, you can omit the article, which refers to the level of education. However, if you include it, it means you are attending a specific high school.
Do you agree with us? Thanks a lot.
